More than one year after he was indicted for causing the death of two persons by dangerous driving, the case against Jason Bhaskaran has been dismissed.
The court dismissed the matter this past week after a no case submission was presented before Magistrate Judy Latchman. The Court accepted that the case against Bhaskaran lacked evidence to convict him of the crime, following arguments by Attorney-at-law, Sonia Parag.
Bhaskaran, of Track ‘B’ Timehri, East Coast Demerara was accused of driving motor vehicle PHH, 8034 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Rudolph Bess. It was further alleged that he also caused the death of 16-year-old Hansranie Persaud by driving in a dangerous manner.
Bhaskaran, a General Manager of the Guyana Quartz Sand Inc. had denied the two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
He had been placed on a total of $400,000 bail.
The fatal accident occurred at Coverden, East Coast Demerara, on April 17, 2016.
According to reports, Bess, 23, of Lot 620 Kaneville, East Bank Demerara and Persaud, 16, of Lot 478 Grove Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara were killed after the motorcycle in which they were riding crashed into a pickup vehicle.
The accident reportedly occurred after they were returning home from a party at a Wash Bay, in Soesdyke. It was reported that Bess’ skull was crushed while one of Persaud’s legs was severed.
The teenager is said to have sneaked out her parents’ house to attend the party with Bess, whom her mother later learnt was her boyfriend.
